Administrative Staff
The vacation plan is designed to support the general well being of university employees and, therefore, the university expects and encourages all employees to take all of their accrued vacation time. Administrative staff members are allocated 24 days of vacation per calendar year. In the first and last year of employment, vacation is prorated from the date of hire or termination at a rate of two days per month. New employees are eligible to begin utilizing available vacation time after three months of employment.

Hourly Staff
Vacation hours are determined by years of service. The following table outlines the amount of vacation per years of service:

YEARS OF SERVICE	2080 ANNUAL HOURS	1920 ANNUAL HOURS	1760 ANNUAL HOURS	1560 ANNUAL HOURS
1 - 6 7 - 13 14 - 19 20 or more	80 hours 120 hours 160 hours 180 hours	73 hours 110 hours 147 hours 165 hours	67 hours 100 hours 133 hours 151 hours	60 hours 90 hours 120 hours 135 hours

It is important to note that years of service are calculated by using the number of completed service years an employee will have in any given calendar year. The above table illustrates vacation time based on standard annual hours worked. All vacation leave is prorated based on the actual number of hours in pay status each year.
